- Square dancing terms are universal. Once trained, a square dancer can dance in any country because all calls - or caller commands - are given in English. Thus, a do-si-do is a do-si-do wherever you go.

- In the Central Florida area alone, there are 46 square dance clubs.

- If you have a fancy, you could square dance somewhere in Central Florida every night of the week.

Western square dancing, which attracts mostly an older crowd, is a formal and disciplined art form with seven levels of difficulty.

A square is four couples in a square formation.

''The more squares on the floor, the better,'' Furnish said.

Together they whirl and weave among dancers in their own square and other squares at the caller's command.

To the untrained ear, the calls sound like a foreign language. But seasoned dancers promptly ''promenade,'' ''half sashay'' or ''flutter-wheel'' without batting an eye.

''It becomes second nature, once you learn the terminology,'' said Evelyn Waite of the Starlight Promenaders. She has been square dancing for 14 years.

So when Furnish says, ''Face your corner and yellow rock,'' Waite knows to hug the person on her right.

Most dancers strive to reach level three - the ''plus'' level. To reach this, one must complete 26 weeks of lessons.

Dancers then attend ''plus workshops'' until they have mastered the moves that correspond to 100 calls. After that, plus-level dancers can attend square dances held at any ''plus'' club in Florida or anywhere in the world.

Most plus clubs in Central Florida hold one dance a week. Those include DeBary's Starlight Promenaders and Orlando's Whirl & Twirl, the two largest clubs in the area. But one dance a week is not enough for most dancers and they visit other clubs throughout Central Florida and participate in ''banner raids.''

A banner raid occurs when four couples from one club crash a dance at another club. The raiders are entitled to take home the host club's banner, or flag bearing the club's name and logo. Most clubs have several banners.

To get the banner back, the host club must take four couples and crash a dance at the raider's club.

But what if a club runs out of banners the night of a raid?

''Then you give up your shorts,'' said Bob Montana, banner raid chairman for the Starlight Promenaders.

Montana, who coordinates an average of 26 raids a year, said he once caught the Suzie-Ques Club in Deltona with their banners down.

''Suzie Q had to give us her bloomers,'' said Montana, who hung the frilly bloomers of Susanelaine Packer, the club's caller, in the Promenaders' dance hall.

''Luckily, I had a spare pair to give up,'' Packer said with a laugh.

And laughs are plentiful at a square dance along with some occasional hollering at the caller's request.

''How many places can you go where it is acceptable to hoot and holler?'' Robinson said. ''It's good therapy.''
